I am trying to apply DCT(discrete cosine transformation) compression on a bmp(bitmap) file. I have a c file which i am running in Turbo C++. This is not actually compressing but i was trying to implement the DCT and IDCT. The code is as follows:
/*
the image to be compressed is a bmp with 24 bpp and
with name "college4.bmp" of dimensions 200*160 ie 25*20- 8*8 blocks
o/p is college2.dat
format: 8 bit signed integers starting rowwise from 0,0 to 8,8
the coefficients order is blue,green,red
for the block no 1 then 2 and soon
*/

Here is the image i am using as input
(im srry the site converted the bmp into png. You may convert it back to bmp to use it)
Here is the image that is generated:
The file college3.bmp that gets created is of size 200×160 and of 93.8 kB but till quarter of the image it has decoded the coefficients correctly but later the file is filled with black pixels. I have taken a screenshot of the o/p as it was saying not a valid bmp while uploading. I am sitting on this problem since feb,2004. If anyone can say me where there is a bug i would be very thankful. I have analysed the output file and found an EOF right at the place where the pixels are starting to be black. I read some other questions on the topic and found that the conversion factors ci,cj have been used improperly. While coding i had also got confused with the indices x,y,i and j. So i hope this problem i will solve in a few days.
Apparently, the problem in the above code is in how you open your files.
This is what should be in your code (note the explicitly specified open modes, binary and text):
With that and slightly altered structure definitions:
I’m able to compile your program successfully using 3 different compilers (Turbo C++, Open Watcom, gcc) and get the desired output picture.
